[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
For now, yes. Android 2.2.1 is still unrootable. Without root you can't install custom recovery and without custom recovery you can't install custom ROMs.

Yes. But z4root should work.

Void or devoid. Void still has some google apps. I find most of them to be useful, not bloatware. Devoid is completely stripped of everything that is not absolutely necessary for the phone to function. I haven't used devoid.

Void has control over CPU overclock and hardware acceleration, and you can disable them if you need more battery life.

Don't worry; you'll learn how to do a nandroid backup using the custom recovery and you will be able to test any ROM. If you're unhappy with it, restore the backup to your previous one.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
z4root works great on 2.2. As far as I know there are no rooting techniques that work for 2.2.1 so if you phone comes with that version, you will have to downgrade before rooting. Then after rooting, install the custom recovery and start flashing ROMs.

I think that void is the best general-use ROM out there, although I've now started with devoid and built up the things that I needed and I like having just what I need and nothing else.

Agree with the previous poster that using nandroid backups it is possible to have multiple ROMs stored on your SD card that you can switch back and forth between. It's a pretty amazing feeling to be able to triple boot three (or more!) different versions of an operating system on one device.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
My best ROM+kernel combo is : Void without any modules installed ( the google apps you want you can just get them from market ) + Der-Cavemen's kernel . I do not use a2sd thus I did not make an ext partition and everything works perfectly . Actually I just couldn't ask for more.... well I could be asking for the 2.3.3 update :P
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
Thanks for the replies guys, means alot!

Ok Void sounds great as long as its got some over clocking options, also i was worried about losing the LG turn by turn navigation app that comes with the phone, is this easily installed again or is this left intact in this rom being talked about??

As far as downgrading ill have to wait for the phone to arrive to check what its running , if i have to this will be the most part im worried about as ive never done that before and ill have to find some

2.2 firmware for New Zealand

which is where im from, can someone point me to a simplistic guide?

Thanks once again team !

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
When I install void rom will I have only english language, or my national (polish)?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
OK reading about void has scared me, not used to installing roms that complicated!

might just go for something a tad easier?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Omnichron:
Ubuntdroid is one of my faves
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
its not really complicated at all, just flash like any other normal rom, and create some folders with some reboots in between.thats all.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
You will have all languages available in Android, Polish included ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Installing void looks so complicated because it includes all the steps starting with downgrade, installing custom recovery and so on. Those are steps which you have to take anyway, no matter what custom ROM you settle for. So don't be scared, just read everything really careful before applying and you're gonna be fine.

[This stays between the two of us ;) : void was the first (and only) custom ROM I have ever flashed,

one week

after I got my phone. I never had an Android phone before and I didn't know anything about all this stuff, yet everything worked perfect. Think positive!]
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
Thanks man, after reading through the Void instructions im def gona give it a whirl, ive installed quite a few roms before but never had to do the folder thing, not even sure if i have to downgrade yet till my fone arrives which will hopefully be tomoro?

Heres hoping its 2.2 and not 2.2.1,

thanks for all the help guys :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
I've used the stock rom for some time, and it worked sweet, so if you're not so sure about custom roms, just root and get the custom recovery on your stock rom, make a nand bkp, than start playing. Android os is a pretty neat os, but still complex, you'll probably wanna do some readin' on how it works before start messing around with it. You should pay attention in getting the right drivers for your pc (that could be complicated as the LG drivers for adb are pretty unstable on windows), and get into some adb working, it will allow you to do pretty EVERYTHING with your phone.

If you're afraid to loose the warranty, you should know this: the service knows you messed up with the os by seeing your custom recovery installed (of course the custom roms too, but it's logic that you'll get that one out once you decide to take the phone to service). So best/easy thing to do when you take your device to service using the warranty is to upgrade it to 2.2.2 via LG Updater (you downgraded to install custom roms, remember?). This will erase the bootloader and recovery to the stock ones, and guys from service will never know you messed that up.

Fell free to ask anything else, i'll think of more advices and write them. :P
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
Thanks for the advice, this is my 2nd android phone, ive installed alot of custom roms, i also have the Android SDK kit on my comp here ive pushed a few boot animations via ADB im pretty sure ill be fine :)

just never had to downgrade a firmware before as my old huawei fone was stuck on 2.1 and that was it :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bennji:
Beware though, I lost everything when installing it, photos, contacts, the lot.

I'm sure there's a way of saving them but I can't work it out.

It's the one thing putting me off trying other ROMs
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
Err well i hope i dont lose my contacts there saved to the sim!

ive never had this happen.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
Who told u will lose sim contacts.?¿
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bennji:
I'd said I lost all my contacts, I wasn't clear as to where they were stored, presumably not on the SIM :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
You can backup your contacts on PC before attempting the custom ROM flash. There are various ways of doing that: using LG PCSuite, using MyPhoneExplorer, using the export functions in Contacts etc. But if your contacts are stored in the SIM card, you won't lose them.

SugarSync is a single software and service solution that allows you to backup, store, sync (short for synchronize), access, and share all your digital assets (files, photos, music, others.) SugarSync was created with the goal of making it trivial for you to manage all your digital life and to satisfy a wide variety of use cases. The backbone of SugarSync is a real time push synchronization infrastructure that enables all these capabilities. As the end user you just need to worry about setting up you account properly and then enjoying the experience.

You can register HERE, and get additional 500 Mb of free space.

More referral spam.. Get a clue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alex fung:
Yes, he is fishing for referral bonus, but the referrred also get additional 500MB free so it is not entirely wrong. SugarSync is more versatile than Dropbox, but it is slower. While the WM client is free, it doesn't do a lot of things. It doesn't sync your WM files (the PC client can sync multiple folders). So other than uploading photos, it is just a convenience over the web interface.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dmplot:
You can use this software not only for WM but for syncing files across two or more computers.

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] liraindon:
The fm radio uses the headphone cable as an antenna, thats why its needed.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] bator:
The headphones cable is the antenna. The FM receivers (radios) doesn't work without antenna. Headphones are necessary, because of the apsence of the antenna in the phone.

Before creating this topic I have searched through entire xda-developer forum for this app or site (whatever). There are some posts in HD2 forum or so, and they are year or two old.

I have also recived the information about the site by the refferal link, but I am thankful to that user, because he gave me the link to really helpful stuff and +500 Mb to my account.

But last time I checked, it didn't do proper sync with the android counterpart. Just syncs the data on the PC. Meaning I can add files on the PC end and expect them not to be on my SD card unless I start downloading each of them one by one.

Has that been changed?
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Agree. OP even used a bit.ly link to hide the referral further.

I actually use and like SugarSync. I sync my photos.

But, has anyone looked at the market reviews for this app? It's like 99% referral spam. That's why, in a moderated forum like this, referral spam isn't allowed. Otherwise, this forum could look like that.

If you just want to get the word out, how about edit your original post and remove the referral code? :)
[Android Apps and Games] worwig:
I use it and prefer it over Dropbox.

Mobile photos are synced automatically.

I have my documents, etc., in multiple directories under one directory on the SD card. Open Sugarsync and tap that directory and it syncs everything. Unless I missed something, isn't Dropbox about the same?

Okay, I can't believe I actually have to ask this question. I've read comments all over the web from people who got the new Gingerbread OTA update for their Nexus One's Feb 28th, but I haven't seen any actual screenshots of the UI (just of the About Phone page).

Engadget says the update comes from Google, which to me means AOSP. If I had instead heard it came from HTC, I would then assume it was Sense. With no new ROMs (as of the writing of this post) based on the new build, I have no other information recourse.

Can someone please just tell me if this new OTA update has Sense installed or not?

No more like HTC branded phones only use sense e.g. HTC Desire, HTC HD2/LEO, HTC Desire HD (You don't see a HTC Nexus one on it's name do you?). The nexus one is a google branded phone, hence the name Google Nexus One. So it will never receive sense in any of its updates.

[Legend General] segphault:
As per the title, I have started experiencing random system lockups since yesterday. I have had to perform two battery pulls and I'm starting to worry that my ext partition won't be so lucky next time...

I have no idea what is causing the lockups, though both have occurred while using Swype. Coincidence?

For now I'm going to set my system clock back to 600Mhz and use the default input method for a while and see if I still get lockups, at which point I will probably flash another ROM unless I can find a solution, which is where you guys (hopefully) come in. Is there anything else I can do to diagnose and/or solve the problem?

- Typed from my rooted HTC Legend -
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
It's most likely the OC that's causing the problem, Swpye shouldn't affect the stability. Unless it's a cracked version ;)
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Try interactive governor or flash latest kernel from the other thread.
[Legend General] segphault:
That's peculiar, as I've had the processor on 768Mhz for a while now and I've had no problems at all before now.

As for Swype... it could be. ;P

I'll try that, but what exactly does each governor do?
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
It manages when the processor speeds up. It doesn;t run at 768MHz all the time, that's just the highest you allow. Ondemand scales the frequency up when it's needed, and lowers it again afterward. It seems to be a little bugged in our kernels though, and causes crashes.

Interactive does a similar thing, but without polling the CPU. It also ramps the frequency up a little more quickly. I use it, it makes the phone more responsive (IMO), and also eliminates the need for profiles in setCPU (to a degree)
